Chapter 583 You Can Sleep Here Too
"Your cold is quite serious. When your wound is especially infected and inflamed, you must rest well
and replenish your nutrients. Don't neglect your health like before," the doctor said after examining
Aidan.
The doctor then turned to Leanna and said, "Mrs. Pearson, I will change Mr. Pearson's dressing later.
Please do this for him in the future to avoid the wound from worsening. It needs to be changed twice a
day."
Hearing that, Leanna was slightly surprised. Why does it involve me again?
Before she could refuse, the doctor had already removed the gauze that was covering Aidan's wound.
The wound was a gruesome sight for anyone to behold.
Aidan looked at her and turned away to avoid her gaze before saying, "You should excuse yourself. I'll
apply the medication myself."
"Oh, then I'll leave," Leanna replied.
"Mm."
After Leanna left, the doctor said, "Mr. Pearson, your injury is on your right arm, so it might be a bit
tricky to apply the medication by yourself."
"I'll live," Aidan responded.
The doctor was speechless upon hearing that.
…
When she returned home, she found Maya staring at her.
"What's up?" Leanna poured herself a glass of water and asked.
"Aren't you back a little early today? You just took the bed sheet out. Was it for Aidan?" Maya asked.
"He caught a cold, and I couldn't find clean sheets, so I just..." Leanna replied.
At that, Maya clicked her tongue unconsciously. "I don't understand you two. Sometimes you live
together, and other times you live separately. It's so complicated. What's exactly going on?"

Leanna sighed but didn't answer her. Instead, she went into the kitchen to make mushroom soup.
Meanwhile, her child was taking a nap in the living room. When he rolled over, his little belly was
exposed. Seeing that, Leanna took a blanket and covered him with it.
"Hey, are you cooking mushroom soup for Aidan? Not bad, are you guys reconciling?" Maya asked.
Hearing that, Leanna turned around to look at Maya and ask impassively, "Do you know how the villain
usually dies?"
"What?" Maya didn't understand what she was saying.
"They die from talking too much," Leanna said with a smile.
Maya was puzzled by the answer and paused for a few seconds before snapping, "Whom are you
calling a villain?"
"No one." Leanna smirked smugly.
"You sure are ungrateful," Maya sneered.
At that moment, the soup in the pot began to boil. With that, Leanna got up and opened the fridge
before taking out some Romaine lettuce to make Caesar salad. Once it was ready, she scooped it into
a bowl and brought it next door.
Meanwhile, Aidan was lying in bed in the bedroom and his normally aloof features looked a bit sickly.
She wasn't sure if he was asleep or not, but the doctor had already left.
Leanna placed the bowl of soup on the bedside table and said, "I've left it out to cool it down, so it's not
hot anymore. You can eat it now, and you can take your medicine in half an hour."
"Did you make this for me?" Aidan opened his eyes after hearing her words.
"I made it for the dog." Leanna looked at him with a straight face.
Aidan was speechless upon hearing that. "You should eat now. I shall take my leave," she continued.
"The doctor said that I shouldn't move this hand." Aidan grabbed onto her wrist tightly and looked over
at his right hand.
Hearing that, she glanced at his hand, which was grabbing onto her hand. "I see this hand is fine."
"As you can see, I can barely move it. It's difficult to eat by myself." Aidan immediately let go of her
hand.

Leanna's eyelid twitched after she heard his ridiculous argument. This b*stard sure is good at playing
tricks. She then sat by the bed with the bowl of soup in her hand and scooped up a spoonful before
feeding it to him. There was a glint of joy in Aidan's eyes as he lowered his head to drink the soup.
Soon, Aidan had finished drinking the soup, and Leanna asked, "Where are your pills?"
He raised his chin and looked toward the tea table upon hearing that.
"I'll pour some water so you can continue sleeping. I'll call you when it's time to take your medicine,"
she said.
When Aidan heard that, he gazed at her and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you still angry?" However,
Leanna didn't answer, and she just placed the bowl on the tray as she stood up to leave.
"I didn't lie to you. The hair dryer really broke. You can go check it if you don't believe me." Aidan's
voice was hoarse. "I haven't lied to you about anything."
"I don't have the time for that. Whether the hair dryer is really broken or not has nothing to do with me."
With that, Leanna carried the tray and walked away.
A few minutes later, she came back with a glass of water and took out the blister pack from the box.
After referring to the information on the label for the dosage, she handed the medicine to Aidan.
"I've read the instructions, and it says that this medicine will make you sleepy. Just take it and go to
sleep."
Aidan looked up at her and asked, "Are you leaving?"
"What else would I be doing? Sit here and watch you sleep?" Leanna replied.
"You can sleep here too." He patted the spot next to him.
She was speechless and didn't even look at him as she left. He could only look at her back as she
walked out, after which he rubbed his temples and picked up his phone from the bedside table. When
he noticed that there were countless missed calls and unread messages, he clicked on them and
answered each and every message and call.
Later on, when Leanna returned, she couldn't help but frown when she saw him massaging his temple
with one hand and holding his phone with the other.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I thought you left."
They spoke almost simultaneously.
Hearing that, Leanna looked at the bag on the couch. "I've left my stuff here."
She walked over, picked up the bag, and shut the curtains before turning to look at Aidan. As both of
their eyes met, Aidan put down his phone after a moment of silence.
"I'm leaving," she said.
Aidan, who was looking at her back, suddenly asked, "What's for dinner tonight?"
Hearing that, Leanna turned back to ask, "What do you want to eat?"
His lips curled up as he answered, "Anything is fine. I'm not a picky eater."
She snorted upon hearing his reply. He's not a picky eater? As if!
After she had left the bedroom and reached the hallway, she suddenly realized that something was
wrong. Why did I agree to cook for him tonight as well? The thought of it gave her a headache. As soon
as she had just closed the door and was about to return to her unit, the door next door suddenly
opened. Zoe poked her head out and looked at her face curiously. "What are you doing?"
"I..." Leanna didn't know how to explain herself. Finally, after a moment, she said, "Aidan is sick, so I'm
bringing him food."
Hearing that, Zoe nodded and teased, "Don't you find it a hassle going back and forth? Why don't you
just let him stay here?"
"No, he has an awful cold. He might infect the little one." Leanna rejected the idea without hesitation.
"Then, why don't you move over there?"
"Do you think that I'm crazy?"
Zoe sighed helplessly. "Woman, you never say what you mean."
Leanna was lost for words and paused before saying, "I have to go to the company. Can you keep an
eye on him? If anything happens to him, please check on him. I'll be back in two hours at most."
"Okay, go ahead. But I think President Pearson has a strong will, so it's very unlikely that anything will
happen. I completely understand your worries and anxiety, so don't worry. I'll monitor him at all times."
Zoe nodded.
Hearing that, Leanna thought of explaining herself, but she eventually gave up.
